Hitete Hoshu did not go to Kyoto to preside over the overall situation for a long time, and the disposition of the heroes and criminals was not determined for a long time, which gave all parties the opportunity to operate in the dark.

Needless to say, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Chomune, Ibu Motokin, Araki Murashige, Mikumo Nariji and others each have different ways to express themselves.

Tokugawa Ieyasu mainly relied on "selling miserably". did not deliberately cover up the chaos in the family - it can even be said that it was deliberately spread outward, and now basically everyone knows that his wife and children are separated from him. Then widespread sympathy was triggered. In addition, he also suggested that the daughter of the Oda family, Gotokuhime, was a "hot potato that was difficult to handle", and he hoped that he would leave it in the care of the Heite family. Hirate Yoshimitsu took into account the old friendship, and he couldn't refuse it, so he silently accepted a favor.

The relatives of Changzong and my department are resolutely loyal. On the one hand, it shows the character of "countrymen don't understand the rules", and says some opinions that seem stupid but are actually ill-intentioned, such as "It's appropriate for the Tie Shou Criminal Department to say less about being a big person this time" and so on. On the other hand, he repeatedly mentioned the fate of fighting side by side in Shikoku back then, emphasizing that he was an "old friend" who had been supporting the Hirate family for many years, which was completely different from other temporary climbing wall grass.

Araki Murashige worked hard to exploit his connections in the cultural world, actively held parties, connected with tea people, poets, scholars, and ministers, and established himself as the number one key figure in the victory of the Ishikawa War—of course, this view is actually tenable, not all boastful. Therefore, all parties near and far, including Tsuda Muneki, Toraya Soyi, Yamashina Kenkei and others, who have a close relationship with the Heite family, have to give some face for the time being.

And although Sanyun Chengzhi has a power Weibo, he only has an attitude on the battlefield and lacks merits worth mentioning, but he is still trying to mediate and find out some people who are related to Koga, Iga and the Rokkakumi Yu Party, hoping to clear their identities and obtain a name such as a guardian generation. The bargaining chip is that poor mountain and bad water, the powerful forces can't look down on the weak forces, and only he can stand up.

In addition, Ise Kitabatake Gukyo, who has no strength at all, but considers himself a victor, as a dignified three-person Nakayan, obviously disdains to go around camping like a "country samurai", but only reservedly communicates with familiar ministers and monks, declaring how noble his own blood is, and has sufficient legitimacy for the possession of the territory. And what do you say, "The Nitta clan and the Kitabatake clan have a very close relationship, and since the Tie Punishment Department is the Nitta clan, it should be the justice of our people."

Even Tanba Hatano, who sent ten soldiers, and Tango Isshiki, who sent twenty soldiers, joined in the excitement and asked for credit.

The "meritorious ministers", whether obvious or obscure, have expressed their demands to Yoshimitsu Hirate, Kawada Nagakin, Hirate Hideyoshi, Iwasari Tomotsu and others for reference.

And the "sinners" can't be so public, so they can only find another way and fight in a curve.

For example, Oda Nobutada, who was dedicated to living in seclusion in Honnoji Temple, thought about it behind closed doors, but his retainers and relatives went out on a large scale. Sasa Narumasa went to Hirate Honhide to intercede, Oda Nagayi was also entrusted with mediation, and Mrs. Inu also received a letter from Awaji, and at the same time, Oda Nobutaka secretly found Hirate Yoshimitsu to catch up.

After all, Oda and Hirate used to have a very close relationship, and with a multi-pronged approach, it was no problem to protect himself, and he could even help Takigawa Kazuyi and Tsutsui Shunkei say a few words.

There is also Asai Nagamasa, who initially seemed to be disheartened and cold-hearted, pretending to be dead for several days without saying anything, no one could have imagined that he would suddenly make a move, go through the path of a monk who has always been a monk, and borrow the connections of Ishiyama Honganji Temple to send a sincere and tear-jerking letter of petition.

The article is sprinkled with thousands of words, the writing is quite good, rearranged and compared, echoing before and after, all in all, it means the same thing: it is all the fault of Kuroda Takataka, Asai Hisasasa, Isono Yuanmasa and others, and Asai Nagamasa himself is an innocent and deceived white lotus.

Such a rhetoric that reverses black and white is ridiculous in itself.

However, since the document was conveyed by Ishiyama Honganji, it had to be taken seriously.

In addition, the latest information from the Kansai region shows that Bessho Nagaharu and others in the Harima region still expressed their support for Asai Nagamasa, while Ukita Naoya and Takeda Takanobu under Mori suddenly became ambiguous, and Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei felt threatened and had to withdraw their troops.

This change made the people of unable to understand. Some people believe that Asai Nagamasa used clever diplomacy, while others believe that the Kansai region was less centralized, and the wealthy clans did not necessarily cling to the strong, but often sided with the weaker daimyo in case they were annexed and lost their independence.

But perhaps the most brilliant is Shigeharu Takenaka. He didn't seem to be doing anything, but everyone was saying good things about him. Including Kawada Nagakin, Hirate Hideyoshi, and Iwanari Tomotsu all believed that in the case that Oda and Asai could not be eliminated for a while, Takenaka's status could be retained as a piece of containment.

……

Hirate Tsugahide arrived in Kyoto in mid-September.

At this time, all the forces had already gone home for the autumn harvest, leaving only a few guards, and the Hirate family, relying on the income from the Seto Inland Sea business circle, maintained a "flag book" of about 10,000 yuan to prepare for the war, which was particularly prominent.

After entering Luo, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was to meet with the envoy of the imperial court, and from the power of the great Nayan Ichijo Neiki, he received the official title of "from the four, the left guard major general, and the main assistant of the criminal department".

This position belongs to the "Konoe Mansion", although it is very noble, but theoretically it belongs to the "no quota", no matter how many people hold it at the same time, it does not contradict the law at all, so the imperial court is more willing to give it.

At the same time, Senator Yasuma Yanyan, who accompanied him, said euphemistically: "Your Majesty and the ministers fully agree with the fact that you are from the Nitta clan. It's just that there's no need to deliberately mention embarrassing names (Yoshisada Nitta). ”

Then Hirate Honhide pretended not to know, and deliberately asked, "Is the so-called embarrassing name referring to Nitta Taro Hall (Gen Yoshishige) who was unfairly treated because he was unwilling to dedicate his beloved daughter to Kamakura-den?" Or is it the Maseiden (Nitta Masayoshi), whose territory was confiscated by the Hojo ruling family due to the issue of private official titles? Or was it the Keiji Hall (Nitta Kiji) who was reprimanded by the shogunate after losing a real estate lawsuit? ”

This is special, you are an ancestor of the Pingshou (Xintian) family, and there are too many criminals!

- Yamako Yanjing suddenly sweated, the pressure was huge, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart and didn't dare to say it, so he could only scold so secretly. On the surface, he had to accompany the smiling face, and pleaded cautiously: "Of course, it's best not to mention these, but the most important thing is the Genkoin Hall (Nitta Yoshisada), who was once an enemy of the Muromachi shogunate......"

Hiratite Fusuki frowned and pretended to think for a long time before nodding reluctantly.

Yamashina Yanjing can finally go back to his life in fear.

In fact, the records of the first dozen generations of the Heite family are not detailed at all, and there is a big question mark over which branch of the Nitta clan came from, and even whether it really came from the Nitta clan. If you have to say that you are the descendant of Yoshisada Nitta, the evidence is not very sufficient.

But now people have hard fists......

After bidding farewell to the imperial court envoys, Hirate Honhide visited the shogunate again and found that Ashikaga Yoshiaki's situation was quite bad, and he was already a little delirious and intellectually impaired.

Considering the craftsmanship and planting level of this era, the "Fushou Cream" thing should not have such serious side effects, is the reaction too exaggerated?

Maybe this is because our general has a special physique, right?

All in all, Hirate didn't have the energy to think about it, but only hinted that Hosokawa Fujitaka and others should "do their best to serve the princess".

After going through the process that had to be followed, Hirate Honhide decisively rejected all the people who pulled the relationship through the back door, and seriously devoted himself to work, and after meeting with Hirate Yoshimitsu, Kawada Nagakin, Hirate Hidema, and Iwanari Tomoto, a rough intention of rewards and punishments was reached.

Then give a small notice.

The specific treatment is:

In view of Nobunaga's death, and the fact that Shibata, Kinoshita, and Akechi were not instructed by Nobutada, the Oda family's faults were not severely punished, and Owari Kamishi-gun and Mino were retained. Oda Nagayoshi and Sasa Hidenari were appointed to supervise as "shogunate representatives" to prevent Oda Nobutada from committing further mistakes.

Tsutsui Shunkei deprived Higashi Yamato and Takigawa Kazuki of their rights and interests in Kitaise, but considering their past experience in Joraku, they could receive part of Minami-Omi's land as compensation.

Let Takenaka make meritorious service to the crime of Dai, go to Echizen, and rectify the order together with Asakura Keiken. Asakura Jingjing, who supported the Eastern Army, ordered seppuku. If the task can be successfully completed, he will be entrusted with the position of half-national guardian.

Asai Nagamasa's culpability is mainly attributed to Takataka Kuroda, so he can continue to serve as Harima's guardian. But Ma Yiguo needs to be returned to the mountain family.

Due to the involvement of thieves, the Ukita Nao's occupation of Bizen Misaku and Takeda Takanobu on Inaba was not recognized, and the Mori family was allowed to send troops to attack.

Some of the other small forces involved in the rebellion were not polite, and all of them were deprived of their territories and demoted to commoners. It's just because of the leniency of the Tie Punishment Department, so I don't do much killing for the time being.

On the other hand –

Tokugawa Ieyasu received an additional gift of 200,000 stone territories in the four counties of Zhangxia. That is, the old collar of the Oda family.

Arakimura Shigege was promoted from the acting official of the eastern half of the country to the daimyo who ruled the country, and at the same time, he would apply to the imperial court for the appropriate official title and rank in his place.

The Yuan of Changzong and my department obtained more than 100,000 stone enclaves all over the four countries, all of which had just been confiscated from the wealthy clans of the countrymen who were attached to Miyoshi Changzhi and Ichijo and rebelled.

Mikumo Narishi gave Iga Ichikuni and Minami Omi Koga Prefecture the guardianship, and when he went to Rakura, he was allowed to enter the house built by the Rokkaku family in Kyoto.

Kitabatake, as the Ise Kuniji, has a completely reasonable claim to the territory, and there is no reason not to support it, but there are some historical issues that he would like to ask in person.

In addition, Wakasa guards Takeda Motoaki, and the three counties of Kita-Omi guard Kyogoku Takayoshi, whose status was originally recognized by the shogunate, and this reiteration will help them regain their "real power".

The entire territory of Yamato was handed over to Hirate Hideyoshi, and the entire territory of Kawachi was handed over to Iwanari Tomotsu, and Hirate Yoshimitsu sat in Kyoto with the assistance of Kawada Nagajin and Hosokawa Fujitaka to help the shogunate manage Yamashiro Province.

Other wealthy Chinese who have been convicted or made meritorious contributions are not to be rewarded and punished as appropriate.

In the name of the shogunate, after semi-officially throwing out this decent plan, it began to wait for the reaction of all parties.
